One of my dream games is a free form super hero game. Something like City of Heroes level of power sets, but customization to an insane point, and then you could either do actual missions or just run around an open world. You could totally choose to be good or bad as well. Setting it in the Marvel universe would enable you do things like have your character be a mutant or inhuman, along with the normal super science, alien or other options. Being a Mutant would add a whole new aspect to the game.

So how's the writing been dealing with OML? Are they just treating him as old Logan or 'hey its that fake old alternate reality logan'?

You also got to copy X-Men powers that could function differently for each power and costumes inspired by characters The problem was they were all random drops so you could just get a bunch of useless poo poo all game or totally break the combat in minutes it's wasted potential: the game, way different from the Mass Effect-style action RPG they were pitching it as.

Plus, you know, it was a game that existed. I can't believe I'd ever be in a situation where I'd be rooting for Activision, but they were pretty much the good guys there.

Yup. After all the poo poo Silicon Knights pulled, I have no issue with Activision just going "We're going to start selling the game on this date. Whatever you give us by that point is what's going on shelves, finished or not because we're sick of dealing with you."

Lurdiak posted:I do, since they just passed the buck onto the consumer with a piece of poo poo game. They should've just canceled it. Never going to happen. They'd invested enough at that point that they had to see some return on the investment, and the X-Men name would guarantee at least a few sales. Activision isn't exactly scared to put its name on shovelware to begin with. Besides, Destiny's problem isn't that it's actively bad. It's that it's promising and even somewhat ambitious but doesn't deliver. It's a complete product, albeit a short one, which makes it an interesting failure. (The worst X-Men game is probably still that top-down shooter on the NES.) Aphrodite posted:Epic totally did give everyone a shittier version of Unreal than they had, but Denis Dyack was so crazy nobody even looked at his side of the argument. Dyack is sort of a fascinating figure because he's one of the last of an old breed. He hit big with his first two projects, but everything after them is a litany of disaster, most of which is his personal responsibility, and he still has a job. You can't get that kind of failure-proofing in modern design anymore; all the guys on his level were grandfathered in from at least the fourth console generation, if not earlier, and the list of names looks like a sales chart for Thorazine. Also, Dyack's Twitter feed is kind of this sad museum to himself. The dude is a Tom Waits song. Wanderer fucked around with this message at 21:30 on Jan 19, 2016 |

I remember being so unbelievably excited for this game, and then when I got it I nearly cried because it was so awful. What makes it worse, is that there was a great X-Men game for the PC that had come out earlier that year and I was hoping that the NES game would be just as good.

You can't go "My girl can control cotton balls and related products with her mind" and expect the game to be able to run with you on that.

Yeah, but he's obscure enough that he's actually probably going to stay dead. Because it seems Marvel has decided to stick with the 'classics' or variants thereof (with the sole exception of Idie) for future X-Men stories (except for Worst X-Man ever).

Elixir's like the single most potent biological manipulator on the planet, it'd be a dawdle to write him auto-resurrecting himself. poo poo, just before he died the guy was talking about how he only scratched the surface of his power. Any potential writer who wants to use Foley has a massive escape clause at their disposal.Squizzle posted:Pixie: half-magic and has hell powers Did somebody buy Andy Zaltzman a forums account and not tell me.

In the same issue where Elixar died they also made it pretty clear their next goal is protecting Triage, that guy Bendis made, so there's a decent chance he'll be part of the team for a while. Also, notorious classic characters like Triage, Genesis, Monet, X-23*, and Fantomex. Like the classic characters are definitely front and center but there's newer guys scattered throughout. *(I guess you could call X-23 a variant of Logan, but I'd say that's a stretch)

In the sense of "is she a totally unique character that is not derived from Logan"? Hell no, she absolutely is derivative from him. In the sense of "is she not the same character as Logan but a character that was created much later than Logan that Marvel is allowing people to use"? Absolutely, I would say she's not a variant in the same sense that the young version of the present X-Men or OML are variants

Not "classic" in any sense involving iconic status, but Monet is older than WickedHate. A lot of people born after Monet was first published are applying to grad school right now. e: Monet's older now than the Fantastic Four were when I was born.

Totally standalone. When Bendis was writing ANXM and UXM, he intentionally tied them together, while Hopeless and Bunn aren't doing anything like that. You don't even need to read All-New Wolverine, Laura doesn't say one word about her wacky solo adventures.

Well Genesis is 'what if Apocalyse was a good guy', and the fact Bendis' pet healer is the one that gets to live annoys me on principle. I was more talking about the 'teen' heroes. Anyone got that comic of Scott getting inreasingly jaded at each 'new generation' of mutants that largely failed to go anywhere?
